From North Tewksbury, MA approximately 25 miles Northwest of Boston in the
Merrimack River Valley.
This is the seed from the "Living Dead" (1006 x 1006) "Child Of The Living
Dead".
Set 6/15
@ 10' 9" on the main ribbon vine that was headed off at 16'.
A high blocky shaped Pumpkin still nice and light creamy yellow no heavy
ribbing yet, so it's showing no signs of maturity.
Cir 93" OTT 216. 93x61x62
Gaining about 13 lbs a day over the last 4. Hoping he doesn't blow up this
weekend with the high temps and dewpoint. Growing a little more slowly that
the "Living Dead" so I hope it makes it. A nerve racking Pumpkin to grow.
Maybe I should rename it Nitro.
A complete Direct Start Update at the end of the month.
